There are two main groups of plants: angiosperms and gymnosperms. Angiosperms are flowering plants whose seeds are enclosed in fruits or ovaries. They are the largest group of plants and include food sources like fruits and vegetables. Gymnosperms are non-flowering plants that produce seeds in open cones, like pine cones. They include conifers like pines and are often used for paper, lumber and plywood production. While angiosperms have advanced traits like flowers and fruits, gymnosperms were evolutionarily earlier forms of seed plants.

2. There are so many plants and trees that surround us.
Plants and trees not only provide us with food, fuels
and many other important things but are also a source
of fresh air and joy that surrounds us everyday.

3. There exist so many different types of plants and
trees, which have tiny differences among their
color, structure, as well as numerous physiological
differences.

4. There are two important groups of plants.
Angiosperms are flowering Gymnosperms are non-
plants flowering plants

5. Angiosperms are the largest group of plants in the plant kingdom
The name angiosperm is Greek in origin.
Angeion means vessel; sperma means
seed.
The seeds from these plants are formed
inside containers called fruits.
250,000 species.

6. Gymnosperms are plants that produce seeds in the open spaces of
cones. One good example of this is pine cones
The Greek word gymno means
naked, and sperma means seed.
In evolution, gymnosperms are more
primitive than angiosperms.
